Jeff Grubb Says Next State of Play Likely To Announce A “Less Exciting” Remaster

It's seemingly confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a remaster, despite the fact it really doesn't need one. Sony is focusing on making the games look a bit cleaner and visually striking instead of rebooting or porting franchises that people actually care about. Although it hasn't been officially confirmed that a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster is coming, it's quite likely since the rumor has been floating around since 2022. People now believe this is happening because the supposed remastered version has been rated by the ESRB, listening to PC and PlayStation 5 as the platforms. In the latest Game […]

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Review – Spiritual Healing

The reveal of Surgent Studios' Tales of Kenzera: ZAU in late 2023 made more than a few heads turn with its setting inspired by African Bantu tales and colorful visuals, which made it easy to look past the fact that the game was yet another metroidvania, a genre that went from being extremely niche to being pretty much everywhere nowadays. While the game objectively doesn't really push the boundaries of the genre forward, reiterating mechanics and features seen in countless other games, it is undeniable how Zau's adventure in the treacherous lands of Kenzera is a solid debut for the […]

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Hands-On Preview – A Dance of Life and Death

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, the first game from Surgent Studios, a transmedia studio based in the UK founded by Abubakar Salim, known in the gaming world for being the voice actor of Assassin's Creed Origins main character Bayek, looked like a very special game right from its reveal during last year's The Game Awards show. Inspired by Abubakar Salim's personal journey dealing with the loss of his father, the Metroidvania starring the warrior shaman Zau sees players travel alongside the young man throughout different biomes guided by the God of Death Kalunga to bring back Zau's father to life. While […]

Stellar Blade, Sand Land, and More Exciting Games Coming Out in April

Keeping track of all the latest video games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help. Every month I'll be running down the games you need to be keeping an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the indies you might otherwise overlook. After a surprisingly-packed February and March, we get a bit of a breather in April, but there’s still some things to look forward to. Sony’s slick actioner Stellar Blade, the Akira-Toriyama-inspired Sand Land, and […]

Tag: Tales of Kenzera: ZAU

Nintendo has officially announced that it is suing PocketPair, the creators of Palworld, in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. In a statement on NintendoCoLtd on X, Nintendo filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court on September 18, 2024. This lawsuit aims to seek an injunction against infringement and damages after PocketPair allegedly infringed multiple patents in Palworld.
